First Jamal Murray begged for the ball, and then he begged for the crowd to roar.
On Murray’s sixth and final 3-pointer of Saturday’s Game 1 rout over the Suns, Denver’s fiery point guard pleaded for Bruce Brown to feed him as he trailed the play in transition.
With both arms extended, Murray implored Brown to pass it to him so he could hammer the final nail in the Suns’ chances in Game 1. After Murray connected and the Suns called a timeout to stop the onslaught, he headed to midcourt where more than 18,000 fans waited to serenade him.
